By becoming a monument in the past few centuries, William Shakespeare has been ruined for many children and adults alike. Monuments belie the freshness and passion of their original creation. Shakespeare was not immune to common human suffering and harmful desires. Even within the confines of poetic rhyme and the motives he may have had in addressing individuals (or the more lasting audience that he often alludes to), he used the sonnets to both reveal and explore powerful feelings, and ultimately to examine the ways that one may become, while inevitably flawed in some if not most of the areas of our sometimes unscrupulous and often challenging lives, a better person. Shakespeare's Sonnets, like his plays, lead many readers to Bardolatry. Classics among early English poetry and (more modern) romantic poetry, lines found there (like his plays) mark them out as famous poems that are widely known, but some of the most touching, beautiful, or memorable sonnets are likely never to have reached the eyes or ears of most people. Many will agree with Wordsworth's famous line (in his sonnet on the sonnet) that "with this same key Shakespeare unlocked his heart." As outlined in the introduction, the sonnet sequence begins with seventeen that urge a "right fair" youth to reproduce his beauty, and the remaining sonnets until 126 continue to be addressed to this "thou" and "you"; the sonnets after 127 are focussed on the "dark lady," excluding the last two, which are different in tone and are related to Cupid. Sonnet 126 contains only twelve lines rather than fourteen, and so in a sense acts as a deliberate or incidental turning point between the two sections. Several sonnets touching on mortality appear in the sixties, but the great group of sonnets between number 18 (beginning with perhaps the sole line from the sequence that remains at the forefront of popular culture, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?") and 126 describe a wide range of ideas and, in ways that may be surprising to those who are yet to read them, ordinary daily activities that make them intriguing and revelatory every time they are read, whether keeping to the given sequence or opening here and there to sonnets at random, each of which have a claim to being classic poetry and worthy (in their own unique ways) of as much attention as his greatest plays. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564. His father was John Shakespeare, an alderman and glover, and his mother was Mary Arden, the daughter of a wealthy landowning farmer. William was the third child of eight, and the eldest surviving son. In 1582, he married Anne Hathaway (about whom little is known, beyond her being eight years his senior), and their daughter Susanna was born six months later. Twins Hamnet and Judith followed in 1585; Hamnet died at the age of eleven of unknown causes. The period from 1585 to 1592 is known as Shakespeare's "lost years." His works began to be published and mentioned in the 1590s; he would ultimately write about 38 plays (sometimes in collaboration, likely making uncertain contributions to other plays), two long narrative poems, 154 sonnets, and other short verses. Shakespeare died--within one month of signing his will, and the date his birth is traditionally observed--on 23 April, 1616.

Download or read book Love Dishonor Marry Die Cherish Perish written by David Rakoff and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the incomparable David Rakoff, a poignant, beautiful, witty and wise novel in verse whose scope spans the 20th Century. David Rakoff, who died in 2012 at the age of 47, built a deserved reputation as one of the finest and funniest essayists of our time. This intricately woven novel, written with humour, sympathy and tenderness, proves him the master of an altogether different art form. Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die; Cherish, Perish leaps cities and decades as Rakoff, a Canadian who became an American citizen, sings the song of his adoptive homeland--a country whose freedoms can be intoxicating, or brutal. Here the characters' lives are linked to each other by acts of generosity or cruelty. A critic once called Rakoff "magnificent," a word which perfectly describes this wonderful novel in verse.
Download or read book The Wake written by Paul Kingsnorth and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A work that is as disturbing as it is empathetic, as beautiful as it is riveting." —Eimear McBride, New Statesman In the aftermath of the Norman Invasion of 1066, William the Conqueror was uncompromising and brutal. English society was broken apart, its systems turned on their head. What is little known is that a fractured network of guerrilla fighters took up arms against the French occupiers. In The Wake, a postapocalyptic novel set a thousand years in the past, Paul Kingsnorth brings this dire scenario back to us through the eyes of the unforgettable Buccmaster, a proud landowner bearing witness to the end of his world. Accompanied by a band of like-minded men, Buccmaster is determined to seek revenge on the invaders. But as the men travel across the scorched English landscape, Buccmaster becomes increasingly unhinged by the immensity of his loss, and their path forward becomes increasingly unclear. Written in what the author describes as "a shadow tongue"—a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to the modern reader—The Wake renders the inner life of an Anglo-Saxon man with an accuracy and immediacy rare in historical fiction. To enter Buccmaster's world is to feel powerfully the sheer strangeness of the past. A tale of lost gods and haunted visions, The Wake is both a sensational, gripping story and a major literary achievement.

Download or read book Italian Gothic Horror Films 1957 1969 written by Roberto Curti and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Gothic" style was a key trend in Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s because of its peculiar, often strikingly original approach to the horror genre. These films portrayed Gothic staples in a stylish and idiosyncratic way, and took a daring approach to the supernatural and to eroticism, with the presence of menacing yet seductive female witches, vampires and ghosts. Thanks to such filmmakers as Mario Bava (Black Sunday), Riccardo Freda (The Horrible Dr. Hichcock), and Antonio Margheriti (Castle of Blood), as well the iconic presence of actress Barbara Steele, Italian Gothic horror went overseas and reached cult status. The book examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, with an abundance of previously unpublished production information drawn from official papers and original scripts. Entries include a complete cast and crew list, home video releases, plot summary and the author's analysis. Excerpts from interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors are included. The foreword is by film director and scriptwriter Ernesto Gastaldi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does research tell us about the effects of school leadership on student achievement? What specific leadership practices make a real difference in school effectiveness? How should school leaders use these practices in their day-to-day management of schools and during the stressful times that accompany major change initiatives? Robert J. Marzano, Timothy Waters, and Brian A. McNulty provide answers to these and other questions in School Leadership That Works. Based on their analysis of 69 studies conducted since 1970 that met their selection criteria and a recent survey of more than 650 building principals, the authors have developed a list of 21 leadership responsibilities that have a significant effect on student achievement. Readers will learn the specific behaviors associated with the 21 leadership responsibilities; the difference between first-order change and second-order change and the leadership responsibilities that are most important for each; how to work smart by choosing the right work to focus on to improve student achievement; the advantages and disadvantages of comprehensive school reform models for improving student achievement; how to develop a site-specific approach to improving student achievement, using a framework of 11 factors and 39 action steps; and a five-step plan for effective school leadership. Combining rigorous research with practical advice, School Leadership That Works gives school administrators the guidance they need to provide strong leadership for better schools.
Download or read book Rivers and Mountains written by John Ashbery and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most important modern poets comes an essential early collection, including the famous long poems “The Skaters” and “Clepsydra” When Rivers and Mountains was published in 1966, American poetry was in a state of radical redefinition, with John Ashbery recognized as one of the leading voices in the New York School of poets. Ashbery himself had just returned to America from ten years abroad working as an art critic in France, and Rivers and Mountains, his third published collection of poems, is now considered by many critics to represent a pivotal transition point in his artistic career. The poet who would gain widespread acclaim with his multiple-award-winning Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror (1975) is, in this collection, still very much engaged in the intimate, personal project of taking his poetry apart and putting it back together again, interrogating not just the act of writing but poetry itself—its purpose, its composition, its fundamental parts. Nominated for a National Book Award by a panel of judges that included W. H. Auden and James Dickey, Rivers and Mountains includes two of Ashbery’s most studied and admired works. “Clepsydra,” which takes its name from an ancient device for measuring the passage of time, echoes both the physical form and the philosophical weight of a water clock in its contemplation of the experience of time as it passes. “The Skaters,” the long poem that closes the collection, was immediately praised as a masterpiece of modern American poetry, and is the work that perhaps most clearly introduces the voice for which Ashbery is now well known and loved: generous, restless, wide-ranging, and human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in France and Italy, All's Well That Ends Well is a story of one-sided romance, based on a tale from Boccaccio's The Decameron. Helen, orphaned daughter of a doctor, is under the protection of the widowed Countess of Rossillion. In love with Bertram, the countess' son, Helen follows him to court, where she cures the sick French king of an apparently fatal illness. The king rewards Helen by offering her the husband of her choice. She names Bertram; he resists. When forced by the king to marry her, he refuses to sleep with her and, accompanied by the braggart Parolles, leaves for the Italian wars. He says that he will only accept Helen if she obtains a ring from his finger and becomes pregnant with his child. She goes to Italy disguised as a pilgrim and suggests a 'bed trick' whereby she will take the place of Diana, a widow's daughter whom Bertram is trying to seduce. A 'kidnapping trick' humiliates the boastful Parolles, whilst the bed trick enables Helen to fulfil Bertram's conditions, leaving him no option but to marry her, to his mother's delight.
